Dick McGinnis Joins Peabody & Smith Realty in Bretton Woods NH!

Posted to Chrissy Smith

Our Bretton Woods real estate office, located right at the entrance of the Bretton Woods Ski Area at the Mount Washington Resort has been busy and we are pleased to announce that long time Bretton Woods Broker Associate, Dick McGinnis has joined us at the office.

It’s not an unfamiliar commute for Dick McGinnis, as this has been his home base for a number of years. Dick has been selling real estate since 1987, and in 2002 he became the principal broker at Bretton Woods Real Estate, which later turned into Mt Washington Resort Realty. Peabody & Smith Realty recently acquired the Mt. Washignton Resort Realty office, and this is the office that Dick has spent the last decade working at. We are so pleased to have Dick on our team, and look forward to combining his expertise and knowledge of the area to the benefit of our sellers and buyers who are interested in purchasing a home at Bretton Woods. Here are some of the homes now for sale at Bretton Woods. We also have just started offering the last four slopeside ski homes to be built at Presidential Views, more on that soon!

Dick can be found on his days off skiing with his grandchildren at the Bretton Woods Ski Area, along with other Peabody & Smith agents! The Peabody & Smith office at Bretton Woods is staffed with Managing Broker Michele Penner, Sales Associate Terry Penner, both longtime Bretton Woods owners, and Dick. He is a long time resident of Lancaster, where he resides with his wife Annetta. He can be reached at the office at 278-1440, or via email at richardm@peabodysmith.com.

Looking for Vacation Home in Scenic Northeast Kingdom Vermont on VAST Snowmobile Trail

Posted to

I am so proud to tell you about a vacation home for a combination-family purchase that I listed in St. Johnsbury, Vermont! This home is so unique because it is very updated, very spacious and has interesting separate areas throughout. What I like about it is that there is a main-floor master bedroom, then you can go upstairs with a choice of two staircases. One staircase leads you to 3 bedrooms, and a spiral staircase with other rooms above. It has its own bathroom. All beautiful and brightly painted colors, and modernly updated. The next staircase, leads you to another 2 bedrooms with a full bathroom. Take the staircase down to a finished basement, with living room retreat and bookshelves. More rooms for sleeping are available, as is a nice workshop. The perfect part about it, is that more than one family could purchase this together and have privacy and plenty of room for entertainment. The kitchen is open with an eat up bar, and an amazing pantry. Sitting rooms and sitting areas are throughout, and a lovely office. First floor laundry is a plus, as is the large 2 car garage with storage, and mudroom with dog shower and dog door out to a run. Walk outside and you are on the VAST Snowmobile trail! Just take off. 20 min. from Burke Mountain, for skiing or biking, 30 min. from Cannon Mountain, 40 min to Mt. Washington Ski Resort and Bretton Woods!

I am so proud of this home, it would be an amazing place to call your own!

My love for Vermont is enhanced by unique opportunities like this for others to find Vermont a home away from home. You can also visit our other listings at www.peabodysmith.com
